Adopt a Scholar

Empowering the Next Generation: The Adopt-A-Scholar Program

Since 1987, the Columbus Citizens Foundation has been dedicated to fostering the academic dreams of outstanding young Italian-Americans. To ensure these opportunities flourish for generations to come, we invite you to join our Adopt-A-Scholar (AAS) Program.

Launched in 2001, AAS empowers our Members and Friends to create personalized scholarships that honor their heritage, their alma maters, or the memory of loved ones. These four-year awards are granted to high school and college students based on merit, financial need, and Italian-American heritage.
